Conditions We Treat in Franklin, TN

Mental Health Treatment

Depression

Major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression can leave individuals feeling hopeless, emotionally numb, and disconnected from everyday life. Many patients come to us after trying multiple antidepressants or years of therapy with little success. We use IV ketamine and SPRAVATO® to help patients experience meaningful symptom relief—often within days rather than weeks. These treatments work differently from SSRIs, targeting brain chemistry and neural pathways involved in mood regulation and emotional resilience.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD is more than just a reaction to trauma—it can be a long-term, life-disrupting condition that affects sleep, mood, memory, and the ability to function. Flashbacks, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, and persistent anxiety are common symptoms. Ketamine therapy has shown promising results in helping patients reduce trauma-related distress by enhancing neuroplasticity and interrupting maladaptive thought loops. For those who have not responded to traditional PTSD treatments, ketamine may offer a new direction toward healing.

Anxiety Disorders

Persistent anxiety can take many forms—generalized worry, panic attacks, social avoidance—but the result is often the same: a reduced quality of life. For individuals whose anxiety hasn’t improved with conventional treatments, IV ketamine may provide relief. By acting on glutamate receptors in the brain, ketamine helps calm overactive circuits involved in fear and worry. Many patients report a sense of clarity and relief after just a few sessions, giving them space to re-engage with daily life and long-term goals.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD can create a cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that are difficult to control. Standard treatments like SSRIs and CBT can help, but many patients don’t find complete relief. Ketamine has been shown to disrupt the rigid thought patterns at the root of OCD by resetting neural activity and promoting cognitive flexibility. We work closely with patients to evaluate their history, determine candidacy, and deliver infusions that align with their needs and goals.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Alcohol dependence is often compounded by emotional pain, depression, or trauma. For patients in recovery or those struggling with chronic relapse, ketamine can be a powerful adjunct to their care plan. Though not a standalone addiction treatment, IV ketamine has been shown to reduce cravings, lift mood, and support neurobiological healing during early recovery. We offer ketamine treatment as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised approach for patients seeking lasting change.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder causes intense shifts in mood, energy, and focus—ranging from deep depression to episodes of mania or hypomania. For those who haven’t found relief with traditional medications, ketamine offers a promising alternative. By targeting brain pathways involved in mood regulation, ketamine may help reduce depressive symptoms and promote emotional stability. Our team carefully evaluates each patient to determine if this treatment is a safe and effective option.

Chronic Pain Treatment

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is one of the most severe and misunderstood pain conditions. Often triggered by injury or surgery, it causes intense, burning pain, skin changes, and hypersensitivity—sometimes spreading beyond the original site of injury. IV ketamine can help by interrupting the feedback loop between the injured area and the brain, calming the nervous system and reducing pain intensity.

Neuropathy

Whether caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, surgery, or injury, neuropathic pain often feels like burning, tingling, or stabbing sensations. Standard medications may not touch this kind of pain. Ketamine works by calming overactive nerve activity, helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and sleep quality.

Phantom Limb Pain

Even after a limb is gone, the brain can continue to generate intense pain sensations—sometimes for years. Phantom limb pain is not imagined; it’s neurological. Ketamine helps by recalibrating the brain’s sensory map and quieting the misfiring nerves that cause pain in a limb that is no longer there.

Postherpetic Neuralgia

This lingering nerve pain after shingles can be severe, unrelenting, and resistant to conventional treatments. IV ketamine may reduce the sensitivity of affected nerves and help the central nervous system break free from the pain cycle.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Often described as one of the most painful conditions known to medicine, trigeminal neuralgia causes sharp, electric-shock-like pain in the face. Ketamine’s ability to modulate central nerve pathways offers potential relief where traditional medications or surgical procedures fall short.

Headache and Facial Pain Syndromes

For patients with chronic migraines, cluster headaches, or facial neuralgia, pain can be constant and disabling. Ketamine has shown promise in reducing headache frequency, duration, and severity—especially in patients who haven’t responded to traditional interventions.
